No, Margaret, you haven't upset me at all. I had all sorts of ideas going through my little brain, but that wasn't one of them--it was enough that females, horses and human, went through labor. I was hoping that mares didn't go through menopause, also (feeble joke, but that's the best I can do right now). However, the mare urine ingredient was why I switched to Bio-Identical HRT from Prem-Pro--I just wasn't aware of how the urine was obtained. Thanks for the info.

I t is made from the urine of a pregnant mare. (Are you starting to track the potentials for abuse here?) At most Premarin farms mare are kept pregnant and in tiny stalls. Their bodily fluids are "harvested, but their offspring are just extra mouths to feed. I hope that I haven't upset you...
